The decline of Twitter under Elon Musk's leadership has led to a surge in engagement on alternative social networks like Bluesky, Threads, and Mastodon. However, this shift has also created a new problem for early adopters: managing multiple platforms. To address this issue, entrepreneurs have developed apps that enable cross-posting across different networks. One such app, Openvibe, has recently expanded its capabilities to include support for Meta's Threads, further unifying the fragmented social media landscape.

Launched earlier this summer, Openvibe initially allowed users to view posts from Mastodon, Nostr, and Bluesky in a combined timeline and cross-post to these networks simultaneously. With the addition of Threads support, users can now log in with their accounts and cross-post and reply across all four networks. The app also enables users to follow people in unified feeds from each network and see suggested followers from each platform.

Openvibe's mission is to provide a user-friendly gateway to the open social web, which spans networks built on different protocols. The app remains free to use and free from advertising, with plans to introduce a subscription plan in the future. As the Threads API evolves, Openvibe will add more features to enhance the user experience. With the rise of alternative social networks, Openvibe is poised to play a key role in simplifying user engagement across multiple platforms.
